About Laura
Laura Amor is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Laura focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, work through grief, and build stronger self-esteem.
She adapts conversations and treatment to each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, whether that is coping with life changes or improving communication.
Background and approach
Laura draws on several counseling styles to match her approach to the situation. Her work often addresses relationship strain, loneliness, family of origin issues, and problems that come with caregiving or aging. She also supports people facing divorce, infidelity, or the emotional demands of end-of-life care.
Practical steps and small weekly goals are common parts of her plan. Therapy sessions blend talking, skill building, and attention to feelings. Laura uses techniques that help people notice patterns, try out different responses, and reduce distress in daily life.
She encourages mindful practices when they fit a client’s goals. Clients can expect steady, patient guidance rather than quick fixes. Laura aims to create a space where concerns are heard and practical options are explored.
Her long experience informs a flexible, person-focused way of working.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional patterns that keep them stuck. In online sessions this work focuses on identifying core feelings and practicing new emotional responses during conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change them, which can be easily reviewed and tracked in video or text-based formats. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape sessions that feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use shorter, focused exchanges. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into busy schedules.
